I actually have a VHS tape of this concert and I'm pretty much sure they also played You And Your Friend yet it's not included. How come? Surely there was only 1 Basel '92 concert, right?

What you probably got is the offcial OTN video which is a Nîmes / Amsterdam composite.

YAYF was not performed in Basel.

They played the same venue on the 27th and 28th of June, however only the 28th was broadcast and Y&YF is not known to have been a part of the set as ds1984 has already said.

I recall that my original VHS recording from the 90s from Channel 4 showed that they had cut many songs and even the drum solo from CE.  However there are many bootlegs of this concert and it appears to be a complete standard '92 setlist.

Not in Amsterdam. It was Rotterdam de Kuip stadion.

My mistake indeed. Can't check the original VHS tape without fiddling with outdated equipment but did check that double CD that somebody released, called Ticket to Heaven and there is no YAYF there and it's of the same show. Must have been OTN video then.

I was at the first concert on the 27th. They played "I think I love you too much" and "Tunnel of Love", but certainly not YAYF. Nonetheless great concert, fabulous evening and very fond memories.

Thanks for that interesting info.  Certainly a better set than the following night.
